For their part, X user TRACER <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/DeFiTracer\/status\/2097614487331487843\">noted<\/a> that the asset has recently tested the $2,500-$2,550 range six times, with each rejection getting weaker.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;This resistance will break soon,&#8221; they predicted.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>MikybullCrypto appears to be the biggest optimist. The analyst <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/MikybullCrypto\/status\/2097580052829311085\">opined<\/a> that a &#8220;mega breakout&#8221; of the nine-year trendline resistance is on the way, setting the stage for a possible explosion to a new all-time high of $9,000.<\/p>\n<p>The declining amount of ETH stored on exchanges supports the bullish theory. Just a few days ago, Ali Martinez <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/ethereum-breakout-incoming-300m-in-eth-leaves-exchanges-as-analyst-eyes-next-big-target\/\">disclosed<\/a> that over 116,000 coins (worth nearly $300 million) were withdrawn from centralized platforms in 48 hours.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;With exchange supply shrinking this aggressively, the setup for a major move is getting interesting,&#8221; he explained.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The analyst also highlighted the major support zone around $2,475, where roughly 2.86 million ETH have previously exchanged hands. &#8220;As long as this level holds, the path toward $2,722 remains relatively clear,&#8221; Martinez said.<\/p>\n<p>The growing institutional demand reinforces the bullish perspective. Last week, spot ETH ETFs <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/ethereum-breakout-incoming-300m-in-eth-leaves-exchanges-as-analyst-eyes-next-big-target\/\">attracted<\/a> almost $220 million, and cumulative total net inflows now surpass $13.17 billion.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"pullback-ahead\">Pullback Ahead?<\/h2>\n<p>X user Void <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/VoidOnChain\/status\/2097338776309699012\">claimed<\/a> ETH has formed an inverted head-and-shoulders pattern on the daily chart, and that one leg down will confirm the setup. That said, the analyst expects a potential drop to $2,000, saying that without this move south, &#8220;we can&#8217;t go higher.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Gerla offered a similar perspective. The analyst <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/CryptoGerla\/status\/2097366063235441062\">noted<\/a> the formation of the aforementioned structure, anticipating a short-term correction to around $2K, followed by a major rally above $4,000 in the coming months.<\/p>\n<p>The post <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/ethereum-eth-at-a-crossroads-jump-to-3000-or-a-plunge-to-2000-comes-next\/\">Ethereum (ETH) at a Crossroads: Jump to $3,000 or a Plunge to $2,000 Comes Next?<\/a> appeared first on <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/\" rel=\"nofollow\">CryptoPotato<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/ethereum-eth-at-a-crossroads-jump-to-3000-or-a-plunge-to-2000-comes-next\/\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The second-largest cryptocurrency has hovered around $2,500 over the past several days, with some analysts predicting a decisive&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":45670,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[13],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-46968","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-crypto","cs-entry","cs-video-wrap"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/financialrush.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/46968","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/financialrush.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/financialrush.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/financialrush.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/financialrush.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=46968"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/financialrush.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/46968\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/financialrush.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/45670"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/financialrush.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=46968"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/financialrush.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=46968"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/financialrush.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=46968"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
